I became a fan of Diono when I started to use their car seats. I loved that Diono provided an extended rear facing car seat option that received great safety reviews and was comfortable for the kids. (Turns out it was also one of the only options that fits three across in our car, which …
I could not have been more excited when my Yippie Yo Crossbuggy arrived at my door. The shipping box was massive! I was excited about the contents and my two littles were excited about all the things they could build with the shipping box. To satiate your curiosity, know that we kept the box for …
One of the most common questions we are asked about moving abroad is what we are doing about schooling for the boys. Our boys are in our Dutch neighborhood schools. They are at separate schools located right next to each other. (I love Dutch efficiency!) Our middle kid, little O is 2 years old and is …
There are some activities worth repeating! Last year one of our first outings with friends was to go apple picking. (Read about that here.) We had such a lovely time I didn’t want to miss the fun this year despite opening weekend hovering near my due date. We headed back to De Olmenhorst for their self …

The Airlink (bus 100) leaves every 10 min from the airport and has plenty of space for luggage. The tram also comes into the city from the airport …
We arrived Oslo via the Bergen Railway into Oslo’s Central Station, which is quite large. The iPhone’s GPS was quite confused in the station, so we went out the exit toward the city but the phone quickly knew where we were. We decided to make the mile walk down Karl Johans Gate to our hotel. …
Berlin is an amazing city to visit and should top your European list. I’m typically not a city person. Although European cities are packed full of museums and culture, I prefer exploring the countryside and small towns. Berlin though, is so packed with history and yet completely new as it rebuilds from its Soviet era …
Father’s Day weekend a friend suggested we do some Dutch camping. She knew of a company, Holland Tent, that sets up everything before you get there. With a last minute booking we asked Holland Tent where they had tents available. The company’s last two tents were at Wega Campground in Weert, a small town in …
